The New England Chapter of CoreNet Global's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEI) is responsible for our on-going relationship with CREST (Commercial Real Estate Success Training). We are proud to announce that given this partnership our CoreNet Global New England Chapter is now a CREST  “Champion” acknowledging our commitment and financial support of their program. This “Champion” designation provides our chapter with the opportunity to market our partnership and to educate program interns and CREST alumni about careers in corporate real estate as well as the value of CoreNet Global membership.

For those who are not familiar, CREST is a local organization that provides meaningful summer internships (between June and August) along with personal and professional skills development to highly motivated and talented college students who have been historically underrepresented in our industry. CREST works with partner firms to recruit the right intern for real estate organizations and provides on-going support and skills development training throughout their internship.

I am proud to be a part of the CREST 2023 cohort. I joined the CREST program to understand the built environment through multiple perspectives. This was indeed a fantastic opportunity and I gained an exemplary introduction to commercial real estate. The networking potential is invaluable and has opened my perspective on my professional future in New England. I will carry all of the lessons learned through CREST with me for my entire career.

I was sponsored to attend the CoreNet Global Summit in Chicago in 2022. It was an amazing experience to learn more about CRE and network in the industry. A huge thank you to the New England Chapter for supporting me.

As an undergraduate student, ERS provided me incredible insight into important trends and opportunities within the CRE industry and gave me the opportunity to network with CRE leaders. I could not be more thankful and will continue to learn and grow in the industry.
